  After a powerful storm hit New England Feb. 17, leaving a record-breaking 27.5 inches of snow, most of Boston was brought to a standstill. But the MGH continued operations like a well-oiled machine – caring for the sick, feeding staff, visitors and patients, and keeping hospital grounds maintained and free of snow.As a matter of course, MGHers are prepared for emergencies such as this — teaming together to ensure patients still receive the highest quality care. But behind the scenes, thousands of nonclinical employees work diligently to sustain smooth hospital operations under even the most extreme conditions.
